Cheesy Mexican food gets a delicious makeover with the addition of goat cheese and fresh crunchy vegetables. Smoked paprika is the star ingredient in this burrito because it gives the chicken an extra dimension of smoky flavor without adding heat and is an easy way to create complexity. You can find it on the spice aisle at your supermarket. Either arugula or mixed gourmet greens would make a good substitute for the spinach. Chockfull with tons of veggies and beans these burritos are filling enough to serve as a light meal. For heartier fair, serve with a side of fresh fruit.
